Cancer in Ancient Astrology is known as the Gateway of Soul and denotes the passing of the soul into the mothers womb, into material. Capricorn sitting opposite, where dark is dominant and light is increasing, is known as the Gateway of the Gods where the Soul ascends and returns back to Source, you can think of the womb as the way in to the material and tomb as the way out!

No creation is without its’ destruction, no joy is without frustration and no accomplishment is without effort. Just as the Moon appears from the darkness she returns to the darkness.
